Hall Creek Culvert Removal & Sewer Improvements

This project will reduce localized flooding during large storm events by removing undersized culverts under the 230th Street crossing of Hall Creek. The four culverts have been removed, and this area was restored to an open flowing creek and natural aquatic habitat. The benefits include enhanced water quality and elimination of barriers to fish passage. A sewer replacement companion project will reconstruct and rehabilitate the sewer main across the Ballinger Lakes Golf Course parking lot between Lakeview Drive and east side of Hall Creek. Construction is underway.

212th Street Overlay

A joint project with the City of Lynnwood, the 212th overlay will restore the roadway pavement and re-channel 212th Street SW from 44th to 52nd Avenues W. It includes pavement milling, dig out pavement repairs and an asphalt concrete overlay. New pavement markings will modify the roadway from 4 lanes to a 3-lane configuration with bike lanes. Sidewalk ramp additions and upgrades are also included. Construction is planned to begin in early 2012. The project is partially funded by a grant from the Federal Highway Administration.

Town Center Area Water Main Replacement

In the Town Center, new 8” and 12” diameter mains will be installed in 55th Avenue W between 230th and 237th, in 230th from 53rd to 56th, and in 234th from 55th to 56th. The Town Center improvements are partially funded by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Construction begins early in 2012.

On the east side of the city, new 12” diameter mains will be installed in 228th Street SW between 39th and 44th, in Cedar Way from 228th to entrance to the 23400 block, and in 222nd Street between 39th and 44th. Construction will begin in early 2012.

The project consists of a number of small and medium sized sanitary sewer and storm conveyance improvements located throughout the city. The projects include new storm systems in 64th Avenue West and 232nd Street SW from 234th to 63rd, and in 54th Avenue between 221st Place and 223rd, with extensions into the adjacent cul-de-sacs. The other improvements are small that focus on repairing and replacing facilities that are failing and require high levels of maintenance. Construction begins in early 2012.
